this week went really well. it was really fast, its crazy to think that in one more week i ll have already had my first transfer. its also crazy to think that i ve already been out for 3 months its crazy. the mission is really really great i love it so much. the language is still hard but it keeps getting better. i can talk to everyone but drunks and really little kids. drunks are kind of jerks a lot of times. the other day we were walking and one stopped us in the street and asked for money. i said we didn´t have any, and he was like what did you say, you don´t speak spanish i cant understand anything your saying, and just a bunch of stuff. i really wanted to punch him, but then i had to remember i am a representative of Jesus Christ so i just tried to ignore it. so i was a little disappointed after that, and feeling a little sad. so after that we were looking for a family, but we couldn´t find there house, the way chilean houses are numbered here are really weird so sometimes its really hard to find them. but anyway we couldnt find it, so we knocked on their door and a lady answered, and she was really nice. so anyway we talked to her for a little bit and found out that her nephew had just died. it was really sad but that is the way the Lord prepares people to accept the gospel, so on one hand its really sad, we get to teach her how she can live with him again and live with her entire family again in a state of never ending happiness, so its cool too. so that got me thinking ya that guy was a jerk, but when you are persecuted for Christs sake you receive blessings, so it all works out in the end. it was the day of the dead here or something like that but it was crazy, EVERYONE was at the cemetry yesterday, it was crazy, there were so many people. also they have halloween here so the last night all these kids kept knocking on our door, but we didn´t have anything, not even pennies, or walnuts to give them so we just didnt answer i felt kind of bad but hey what can you do. yesterday we walked so much it was crazy no one was home so we were walking all over i was so tired. so ya everything is going really well, i love it here. also i need a picture of everyone and your families if you can, so ya thanks again for everything.
